routine factual report that is highly likely to identify an | 136 |

agency or employee shall attempt to determine whether or not the | 141 |
alleged delinquent child or arrestee is an abused child and shall | 142 |
not disclose the name or other information before making the | 143 |
determination. | 144 |
(2) No person to whom information described in division | 145 |

Sec. 2151.414. (A)(1) Upon the filing of a motion pursuant | 173 |
to section 2151.413 of the Revised Code for permanent custody of a | 174 |
child, the court shall schedule a hearing and give notice of the | 175 |
filing of the motion and of the hearing, in accordance with | 176 |
section 2151.29 of the Revised Code, to all parties to the action | 177 |
and to the child's guardian ad litem. The notice also shall | 178 |
contain a full explanation that the granting of permanent custody | 179 |
permanently divests the parents of their parental rights, a full | 180 |
explanation of their right to be represented by counsel and to | 181 |
have counsel appointed pursuant to Chapter 120. of the Revised | 182 |
Code if they are indigent, and the name and telephone number of | 183 |
the court employee designated by the court pursuant to section | 184 |
2151.314 of the Revised Code to arrange for the prompt appointment | 185 |
of counsel for indigent persons. | 186 |
The court shall conduct a hearing in accordance with section | 187 |
2151.35 of the Revised Code to determine if it is in the best | 188 |
interest of the child to permanently terminate parental rights and | 189 |
grant permanent custody to the agency that filed the motion. The | 190 |
adjudication that the child is an abused, neglected, or dependent | 191 |
child and any dispositional order that has been issued in the case | 192 |
under section 2151.353 of the Revised Code pursuant to the | 193 |
adjudication shall not be readjudicated at the hearing and shall | 194 |
not be affected by a denial of the motion for permanent custody. | 195 |
(2) The court shall hold the hearing scheduled pursuant to | 196 |
division (A)(1) of this section not later than one hundred twenty | 197 |
days after the agency files the motion for permanent custody, | 198 |
except that, for good cause shown, the court may continue the | 199 |
hearing for a reasonable period of time beyond the | 200 |
one-hundred-twenty-day deadline. The court shall issue an order | 201 |
that grants, denies, or otherwise disposes of the motion for | 202 |
permanent custody, and journalize the order, not later than two | 203 |
hundred days after the agency files the motion. | 204 |
If a motion is made under division (D)(2) of section 2151.413 | 205 |
of the Revised Code and no dispositional hearing has been held in | 206 |
the case, the court may hear the motion in the dispositional | 207 |
hearing required by division (B) of section 2151.35 of the Revised | 208 |
Code. If the court issues an order pursuant to section 2151.353 of | 209 |
the Revised Code granting permanent custody of the child to the | 210 |
agency, the court shall immediately dismiss the motion made under | 211 |
division (D)(2) of section 2151.413 of the Revised Code. | 212 |
The failure of the court to comply with the time periods set | 213 |
forth in division (A)(2) of this section does not affect the | 214 |
authority of the court to issue any order under this chapter and | 215 |
does not provide any basis for attacking the jurisdiction of the | 216 |
court or the validity of any order of the court. | 217 |
(B)(1) Except as provided in division (B)(2) of this section, | 218 |
the court may grant permanent custody of a child to a movant if | 219 |
the court determines at the hearing held pursuant to division (A) | 220 |
of this section, by clear and convincing evidence, that it is in | 221 |
the best interest of the child to grant permanent custody of the | 222 |
child to the agency that filed the motion for permanent custody | 223 |
and that any of the following apply: | 224 |
(a) The child is not abandoned or orphaned, has not been in | 225 |
the temporary custody of one or more public children services | 226 |
agencies or private child placing agencies for twelve or more | 227 |
months of a consecutive twenty-two-month period, or has not been | 228 |
in the temporary custody of one or more public children services | 229 |
agencies or private child placing agencies for twelve or more | 230 |
months of a consecutive twenty-two-month period if, as described | 231 |
in division (D)(1) of section 2151.413 of the Revised Code, the | 232 |
child was previously in the temporary custody of an equivalent | 233 |
agency in another state, and the child cannot be placed with | 234 |
either of the child's parents within a reasonable time or should | 235 |
not be placed with the child's parents. | 236 |
(b) The child is abandoned. | 237 |
(c) The child is orphaned, and there are no relatives of the | 238 |
child who are able to take permanent custody. | 239 |
(d) The child has been in the temporary custody of one or | 240 |
more public children services agencies or private child placing | 241 |
agencies for twelve or more months of a consecutive | 242 |
twenty-two-month period, or the child has been in the temporary | 243 |
custody of one or more public children services agencies or | 244 |
private child placing agencies for twelve or more months of a | 245 |
consecutive twenty-two-month period and, as described in division | 246 |
(D)(1) of section 2151.413 of the Revised Code, the child was | 247 |
previously in the temporary custody of an equivalent agency in | 248 |
another state. | 249 |
For the purposes of division (B)(1) of this section, a child | 250 |
shall be considered to have entered the temporary custody of an | 251 |
agency on the earlier of the date the child is adjudicated | 252 |
pursuant to section 2151.28 of the Revised Code or the date that | 253 |
is sixty days after the removal of the child from home. | 254 |
(2) With respect to a motion made pursuant to division (D)(2) | 255 |
of section 2151.413 of the Revised Code, the court shall grant | 256 |
permanent custody of the child to the movant if the court | 257 |
determines in accordance with division (E) of this section that | 258 |
the child cannot be placed with one of the child's parents within | 259 |
a reasonable time or should not be placed with either parent and | 260 |
determines in accordance with division (D) of this section that | 261 |
permanent custody is in the child's best interest. | 262 |
(C) In making the determinations required by this section or | 263 |
division (A)(4) of section 2151.353 of the Revised Code, a court | 264 |
shall not consider the effect the granting of permanent custody to | 265 |
the agency would have upon any parent of the child. A written | 266 |
report of the guardian ad litem of the child shall be submitted to | 267 |
the court prior to or at the time of the hearing held pursuant to | 268 |
division (A) of this section or section 2151.35 of the Revised | 269 |
Code but shall not be submitted under oath. | 270 |
If the court grants permanent custody of a child to a movant | 271 |
under this division, the court, upon the request of any party, | 272 |
shall file a written opinion setting forth its findings of fact | 273 |
and conclusions of law in relation to the proceeding. The court | 274 |
shall not deny an agency's motion for permanent custody solely | 275 |
because the agency failed to implement any particular aspect of | 276 |
the child's case plan. | 277 |
(D)(1) In determining the best interest of a child at a | 278 |
hearing held pursuant to division (A) of this section or for the | 279 |
purposes of division (A)(4) or (5) of section 2151.353 or division | 280 |
(C) of section 2151.415 of the Revised Code, the court shall | 281 |
consider all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the | 282 |
following: | 283 |
(a) The interaction and interrelationship of the child with | 284 |
the child's parents, siblings, relatives, foster caregivers and | 285 |
out-of-home providers, and any other person who may significantly | 286 |
affect the child; | 287 |
(b) The wishes of the child, as expressed directly by the | 288 |
child or through the child's guardian ad litem, with due regard | 289 |
for the maturity of the child; | 290 |
(c) The custodial history of the child, including whether the | 291 |
child has been in the temporary custody of one or more public | 292 |
children services agencies or private child placing agencies for | 293 |
twelve or more months of a consecutive twenty-two-month period, or | 294 |
the child has been in the temporary custody of one or more public | 295 |
children services agencies or private child placing agencies for | 296 |
twelve or more months of a consecutive twenty-two-month period | 297 |
and, as described in division (D)(1) of section 2151.413 of the | 298 |
Revised Code, the child was previously in the temporary custody of | 299 |
an equivalent agency in another state; | 300 |
(d) The child's need for a legally secure permanent placement | 301 |
and whether that type of placement can be achieved without a grant | 302 |
of permanent custody to the agency; | 303 |
(e) Whether any of the factors in divisions (E)(7) to (11) of | 304 |
this section apply in relation to the parents and child. | 305 |
For the purposes of division (D)(1) of this section, a child | 306 |
shall be considered to have entered the temporary custody of an | 307 |
agency on the earlier of the date the child is adjudicated | 308 |
pursuant to section 2151.28 of the Revised Code or the date that | 309 |
is sixty days after the removal of the child from home. | 310 |
(2) If all of the following apply, permanent custody is in | 311 |
the best interest of the child, and the court shall commit the | 312 |
child to the permanent custody of a public children services | 313 |
agency or private child placing agency: | 314 |
(a) The court determines by clear and convincing evidence | 315 |
that one or more of the factors in division (E) of this section | 316 |
exist and the child cannot be placed with one of the child's | 317 |
parents within a reasonable time or should not be placed with | 318 |
either parent. | 319 |
(b) The child has been in an agency's custody for two years | 320 |
or longer, and no longer qualifies for temporary custody pursuant | 321 |
to division (D) of section 2151.415 of the Revised Code. | 322 |
(c) The child does not meet the requirements for a planned | 323 |
permanent living arrangement pursuant to division (A)(5) of | 324 |
section 2151.353 of the Revised Code. | 325 |
(d) Prior to the dispositional hearing, no relative or other | 326 |
interested person has filed, or has been identified in, a motion | 327 |
for legal custody of the child. | 328 |
(E) In determining at a hearing held pursuant to division (A) | 329 |
of this section or for the purposes of division (A)(4) of section | 330 |
2151.353 of the Revised Code whether a child cannot be placed with | 331 |
either parent within a reasonable period of time or should not be | 332 |
placed with the parents, the court shall consider all relevant | 333 |
evidence. If the court determines, by clear and convincing | 334 |
evidence, at a hearing held pursuant to division (A) of this | 335 |
section or for the purposes of division (A)(4) of section 2151.353 | 336 |
of the Revised Code that one or more of the following exist as to | 337 |
each of the child's parents, the court shall enter a finding that | 338 |
the child cannot be placed with either parent within a reasonable | 339 |
time or should not be placed with either parent: | 340 |
(1) Following the placement of the child outside the child's | 341 |
home and notwithstanding reasonable case planning and diligent | 342 |
efforts by the agency to assist the parents to remedy the problems | 343 |
that initially caused the child to be placed outside the home, the | 344 |
parent has failed continuously and repeatedly to substantially | 345 |
remedy the conditions causing the child to be placed outside the | 346 |
child's home. In determining whether the parents have | 347 |
substantially remedied those conditions, the court shall consider | 348 |
parental utilization of medical, psychiatric, psychological, and | 349 |
other social and rehabilitative services and material resources | 350 |
that were made available to the parents for the purpose of | 351 |
changing parental conduct to allow them to resume and maintain | 352 |
parental duties. | 353 |
(2) Chronic mental illness, chronic emotional illness, mental | 354 |
retardation, physical disability, or chemical dependency of the | 355 |
parent that is so severe that it makes the parent unable to | 356 |
provide an adequate permanent home for the child at the present | 357 |
time and, as anticipated, within one year after the court holds | 358 |
the hearing pursuant to division (A) of this section or for the | 359 |
purposes of division (A)(4) of section 2151.353 of the Revised | 360 |
Code; | 361 |
(3) The parent committed any abuse as described in section | 362 |
2151.031 of the Revised Code against the child, caused the child | 363 |
to suffer any neglect as described in section 2151.03 of the | 364 |
Revised Code, or allowed the child to suffer any neglect as | 365 |
described in section 2151.03 of the Revised Code between the date | 366 |
that the original complaint alleging abuse or neglect was filed | 367 |
and the date of the filing of the motion for permanent custody; | 368 |
(4) The parent has demonstrated a lack of commitment toward | 369 |
the child by failing to regularly support, visit, or communicate | 370 |
with the child when able to do so, or by other actions showing an | 371 |
unwillingness to provide an adequate permanent home for the child; | 372 |
(5) The parent is incarcerated for an offense committed | 373 |
against the child or a sibling of the child; | 374 |
(6) The parent has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to an | 375 |
offense under division (A) or (C) of section 2919.22 or under | 376 |
section 2903.16, 2903.21, 2903.34, 2905.01, 2905.02, 2905.03, | 377 |

379 | |
2907.323, 2911.01, 2911.02, 2911.11, 2911.12, 2919.12, 2919.24, | 380 |

food from the child when the parent has the means to provide the | 428 |

the parent withheld it for a purpose other than to treat the | 430 |

means through prayer alone in accordance with the tenets of a | 432 |
recognized religious body. | 433 |
(9) The parent has placed the child at substantial risk of | 434 |

least eighteen months after the filing of the motion for permanent | 456 |

threat to the child's safety. | 471 |
(16) Any other factor the court considers relevant. | 472 |
(F) The parents of a child for whom the court has issued an | 473 |
order granting permanent custody pursuant to this section, upon | 474 |
the issuance of the order, cease to be parties to the action. This | 475 |

to a movant pursuant to this section. | 478 |
Sec. 2151.419. (A)(1) Except as provided in division (A)(2) | 479 |

division (E) of section 2151.31, or section 2151.314, 2151.33, or | 481 |
2151.353 of the Revised Code at which the court removes a child | 482 |
from the child's home or continues the removal of a child from the | 483 |
child's home, the court shall determine whether the public | 484 |
children services agency or private child placing agency that | 485 |
filed the complaint in the case, removed the child from home, has | 486 |
custody of the child, or will be given custody of the child has | 487 |
made reasonable efforts to prevent the removal of the child from | 488 |
the child's home, to eliminate the continued removal of the child | 489 |
from the child's home, or to make it possible for the child to | 490 |
return safely home. The agency shall have the burden of proving | 491 |
that it has made those reasonable efforts. If the agency removed | 492 |
the child from home during an emergency in which the child could | 493 |
not safely remain at home and the agency did not have prior | 494 |
contact with the child, the court is not prohibited, solely | 495 |
because the agency did not make reasonable efforts during the | 496 |
emergency to prevent the removal of the child, from determining | 497 |
that the agency made those reasonable efforts. In determining | 498 |
whether reasonable efforts were made, the child's health and | 499 |
safety shall be paramount. | 500 |
(2) If any of the following apply, the court shall make a | 501 |
determination that the agency is not required to make reasonable | 502 |

equivalent to an offense described in those sections and the | 511 |

sections and the victim of the offense is the child, a sibling of | 532 |
the child, or another child who lived in the parent's household at | 533 |
the time of the offense; | 534 |
(v) An offense under section 2905.32, 2907.21, or 2907.22 of | 535 |

equivalent to the offense described in those sections and the | 538 |
victim of the offense is the child, a sibling of the child, or | 539 |
another child who lived in the parent's household at the time of | 540 |
the offense; | 541 |

mental illness or defect of the child by spiritual means through | 549 |

after a case plan issued pursuant to section 2151.412 of the | 557 |
Revised Code requiring treatment of the parent was journalized as | 558 |
part of a dispositional order issued with respect to the child or | 559 |
an order was issued by any other court requiring such treatment of | 560 |
the parent. | 561 |
(d) The parent from whom the child was removed has abandoned | 562 |
the child. | 563 |

of the Revised Code or under an existing or former law of this | 567 |
state, any other state, or the United States that is substantially | 568 |
equivalent to those sections. | 569 |
(3) At any hearing in which the court determines whether to | 570 |
return a child to the child's home, the court may issue an order | 571 |
that returns the child in situations in which the conditions | 572 |
described in divisions (A)(2)(a) to (e) of this section are | 573 |
present. | 574 |

division (A)(1) of this section, it shall briefly describe in the | 579 |
findings of fact the relevant services provided by the agency to | 580 |
the family of the child and why those services did not prevent the | 581 |
removal of the child from the child's home or enable the child to | 582 |
return safely home. | 583 |
(2) If a court issues an order that returns the child to the | 584 |
child's home in situations in which division (A)(2)(a), (b), (c), | 585 |
(d), or (e) of this section applies, the court shall issue written | 586 |
findings of fact setting forth the reasons supporting its | 587 |

permanency plan with respect to the child, unless the court issues | 592 |
an order returning the child home pursuant to division (A)(3) of | 593 |
this section. The hearing to approve the permanency plan may be | 594 |
held immediately following the court's determination pursuant to | 595 |
division (A)(2) of this section and shall be held no later than | 596 |
thirty days following that determination. | 597 |
Sec. 2901.13. (A)(1) Except as provided in division (A)(2) | 598 |

either by an aggrieved person, or by the aggrieved person's legal | 628 |
representative who is not a party to the offense. | 629 |
(2) If the period of limitation provided in division (A)(1) | 630 |
or (3) of this section has expired, prosecution for a violation of | 631 |

years after discovery of the offense either by an aggrieved person | 633 |
or the aggrieved person's legal representative who is not a party | 634 |
to the offense. | 635 |

(A)(1) or (3) of this section has expired, prosecution shall be | 637 |
commenced for the following offenses during the following | 638 |
specified periods of time: | 639 |

servant, at any time while the accused remains a public servant, | 641 |
or within two years thereafter; | 642 |
(b) For an offense by a person who is not a public servant | 643 |
but whose offense is directly related to the misconduct in office | 644 |

a public servant, or within two years thereafter. | 646 |
(2) As used in this division: | 647 |
(a) An "offense is directly related to the misconduct in | 648 |
office of a public servant" includes, but is not limited to, a | 649 |
violation of section 101.71, 101.91, 121.61 or 2921.13, division | 650 |
(F) or (H) of section 102.03, division (A) of section 2921.02, | 651 |
division (A) or (B) of section 2921.43, or division (F) or (G) of | 652 |
section 3517.13 of the Revised Code, that is directly related to | 653 |
an offense involving misconduct in office of a public servant. | 654 |
(b) "Public servant" has the same meaning as in section | 655 |
2921.01 of the Revised Code. | 656 |
(D) An offense is committed when every element of the offense | 657 |
occurs. In the case of an offense of which an element is a | 658 |

begin to run until such course of conduct or the accused's | 660 |
accountability for it terminates, whichever occurs first. | 661 |
(E) A prosecution is commenced on the date an indictment is | 662 |
returned or an information filed, or on the date a lawful arrest | 663 |
without a warrant is made, or on the date a warrant, summons, | 664 |
citation, or other process is issued, whichever occurs first. A | 665 |
prosecution is not commenced by the return of an indictment or the | 666 |
filing of an information unless reasonable diligence is exercised | 667 |
to issue and execute process on the same. A prosecution is not | 668 |
commenced upon issuance of a warrant, summons, citation, or other | 669 |
process, unless reasonable diligence is exercised to execute the | 670 |
same. | 671 |
(F) The period of limitation shall not run during any time | 672 |
when the corpus delicti remains undiscovered. | 673 |
(G) The period of limitation shall not run during any time | 674 |
when the accused purposely avoids prosecution. Proof that the | 675 |
accused departed this state or concealed the accused's identity or | 676 |
whereabouts is prima-facie evidence of the accused's purpose to | 677 |
avoid prosecution. | 678 |
(H) The period of limitation shall not run during any time a | 679 |
prosecution against the accused based on the same conduct is | 680 |
pending in this state, even though the indictment, information, or | 681 |
process that commenced the prosecution is quashed or the | 682 |
proceedings on the indictment, information, or process are set | 683 |
aside or reversed on appeal. | 684 |
(I) The period of limitation for a violation of any provision | 685 |
of Title XXIX of the Revised Code that involves a physical or | 686 |
mental wound, injury, disability, or condition of a nature that | 687 |
reasonably indicates abuse or neglect of a child under eighteen | 688 |
years of age or of a mentally retarded, developmentally disabled, | 689 |
or physically impaired child under twenty-one years of age shall | 690 |
not begin to run until either of the following occurs: | 691 |
(1) The victim of the offense reaches the age of majority. | 692 |
(2) A public children services agency, or a municipal or | 693 |
county peace officer that is not the parent or guardian of the | 694 |
child, in the county in which the child resides or in which the | 695 |
abuse or neglect is occurring or has occurred has been notified | 696 |
that abuse or neglect is known, suspected, or believed to have | 697 |
occurred. | 698 |
(J) As used in this section, "peace officer" has the same | 699 |
meaning as in section 2935.01 of the Revised Code. | 700 |
Sec. 2905.32. (A) No person shall knowingly recruit, lure, | 701 |
entice, isolate, harbor, transport, provide, obtain, or maintain, | 702 |
or knowingly attempt to recruit, lure, entice, isolate, harbor, | 703 |
transport, provide, obtain, or maintain, another person | 704 |
any of the following applies: | 705 |
(1) The offender knows that the other person will be | 706 |
subjected to involuntary servitude or be compelled to engage in | 707 |
sexual activity for hire, engage in a performance that is obscene, | 708 |
sexually oriented, or nudity oriented, or be a model or | 709 |
participant in the production of material that is obscene, | 710 |
sexually oriented, or nudity oriented. | 711 |
(2) The other person is less than sixteen years of age or is | 712 |
a developmentally disabled person whom the offender knows or has | 713 |
reasonable cause to believe is a developmentally disabled person, | 714 |
and either the offender knows that the other person will be | 715 |
subjected to involuntary servitude or the offender's knowing | 716 |
recruitment, luring, enticement, isolation, harboring, | 717 |
transportation, provision, obtaining, or maintenance of the other | 718 |
person or knowing attempt to recruit, lure, entice, isolate, | 719 |
harbor, transport, provide, obtain, or maintain the other person | 720 |
is for any of the following purposes: | 721 |
(a) To engage in sexual activity for hire; | 722 |
(b) To engage in a performance for hire that is obscene, | 723 |
sexually oriented, or nudity oriented; | 724 |
(c) To be a model or participant for hire in the production | 725 |
of material that is obscene, sexually oriented, or nudity | 726 |
oriented. | 727 |
(3) The other person is sixteen or seventeen years of age, | 728 |
either the offender knows that the other person will be subjected | 729 |
to involuntary servitude or the offender's knowing recruitment, | 730 |
luring, enticement, isolation, harboring, transportation, | 731 |
provision, obtaining, or maintenance of the other person or | 732 |
knowing attempt to recruit, lure, entice, isolate, harbor, | 733 |
transport, provide, obtain, or maintain the other person is for | 734 |
any purpose described in divisions (A)(2)(a) to (c) of this | 735 |
section, and the circumstances described in division (A)(5), (6), | 736 |
(7), (8), (9), (10), (11), (12), or (13) of section 2907.03 of the | 737 |
Revised Code apply with respect to the offender and the other | 738 |
person. | 739 |
(B) For a prosecution under division (A)(1) of this section, | 740 |
the element "compelled" does not require that the compulsion be | 741 |
openly displayed or physically exerted. The element "compelled" | 742 |
has been established if the state proves that the victim's will | 743 |
was overcome by force, fear, duress, | 744 |
(C) In a prosecution under this section, proof that the | 745 |
defendant engaged in sexual activity with any person, or solicited | 746 |
sexual activity with any person, whether or not for hire, without | 747 |
more, does not constitute a violation of this section. | 748 |
(D) A prosecution for a violation of this section does not | 749 |
preclude a prosecution of a violation of any other section of the | 750 |
Revised Code. One or more acts, a series of acts, or a course of | 751 |
behavior that can be prosecuted under this section or any other | 752 |
section of the Revised Code may be prosecuted under this section, | 753 |
the other section of the Revised Code, or both sections. However, | 754 |
if an offender is convicted of or pleads guilty to a violation of | 755 |
this section and also is convicted of or pleads guilty to a | 756 |
violation of section 2907.21 of the Revised Code based on the same | 757 |
conduct involving the same victim that was the basis of the | 758 |
violation of this section, or is convicted of or pleads guilty to | 759 |
any other violation of Chapter 2907. of the Revised Code based on | 760 |
the same conduct involving the same victim that was the basis of | 761 |
the violation of this section, the two offenses are allied | 762 |

which a sentencing court is required to impose a mandatory prison | 2056 |
term, a mandatory term of local incarceration, or a mandatory term | 2057 |
of imprisonment in a jail. | 2058 |

whichever is applicable, was a factor leading to the criminal | 2094 |
offense with which the offender is charged, intervention in lieu | 2095 |
of conviction would not demean the seriousness of the offense, and | 2096 |
intervention would substantially reduce the likelihood of any | 2097 |
future criminal activity. | 2098 |
(7) The alleged victim of the offense was not sixty-five | 2099 |
years of age or older, permanently and totally disabled, under | 2100 |

not been treated for drug abuse. | 2106 |
(9) The offender is willing to comply with all terms and | 2107 |
conditions imposed by the court pursuant to division (D) of this | 2108 |
section. | 2109 |
(10) The offender is not charged with an offense that would | 2110 |
result in the offender being disqualified under Chapter 4506. of | 2111 |
the Revised Code from operating a commercial motor vehicle or | 2112 |
would subject the offender to any other sanction under that | 2113 |
chapter. | 2114 |
(C) At the conclusion of a hearing held pursuant to division | 2115 |
(A) of this section, the court shall enter its determination as to | 2116 |
whether the offender is eligible for intervention in lieu of | 2117 |

speedy trial, the preliminary hearing, the time period within | 2123 |
which the grand jury may consider an indictment against the | 2124 |
offender, and arraignment, unless the hearing, indictment, or | 2125 |
arraignment has already occurred. In addition, the court then may | 2126 |
stay all criminal proceedings and order the offender to comply | 2127 |
with all terms and conditions imposed by the court pursuant to | 2128 |
division (D) of this section. If the court finds that the offender | 2129 |
is not eligible or does not grant the offender's request, the | 2130 |
criminal proceedings against the offender shall proceed as if the | 2131 |
offender's request for intervention in lieu of conviction had not | 2132 |
been made. | 2133 |

intervention in lieu of conviction, the court shall place the | 2135 |
offender under the general control and supervision of the county | 2136 |
probation department, the adult parole authority, or another | 2137 |
appropriate local probation or court services agency, if one | 2138 |
exists, as if the offender was subject to a community control | 2139 |
sanction imposed under section 2929.15, 2929.18, or 2929.25 of the | 2140 |
Revised Code. The court shall establish an intervention plan for | 2141 |
the offender. The terms and conditions of the intervention plan | 2142 |
shall require the offender, for at least one year from the date on | 2143 |
which the court grants the order of intervention in lieu of | 2144 |
conviction, to abstain from the use of illegal drugs and alcohol, | 2145 |
to participate in treatment and recovery support services, and to | 2146 |
submit to regular random testing for drug and alcohol use and may | 2147 |
include any other treatment terms and conditions, or terms and | 2148 |
conditions similar to community control sanctions, which may | 2149 |
include community service or restitution, that are ordered by the | 2150 |
court. | 2151 |

using illegal drugs and alcohol for a period of at least one year | 2156 |

in lieu of conviction, the requirement that the offender | 2158 |
participate in treatment and recovery support services, and all | 2159 |
other terms and conditions ordered by the court, the court shall | 2160 |
dismiss the proceedings against the offender. Successful | 2161 |
completion of the intervention plan and period of abstinence under | 2162 |
this section shall be without adjudication of guilt and is not a | 2163 |
criminal conviction for purposes of any disqualification or | 2164 |
disability imposed by law and upon conviction of a crime, and the | 2165 |
court may order the sealing of records related to the offense in | 2166 |
question in the manner provided in sections 2953.31 to 2953.36 of | 2167 |
the Revised Code. | 2168 |
(F) If the court grants an offender's request for | 2169 |
intervention in lieu of conviction and the offender fails to | 2170 |
comply with any term or condition imposed as part of the | 2171 |
intervention plan for the offender, the supervising authority for | 2172 |
the offender promptly shall advise the court of this failure, and | 2173 |
the court shall hold a hearing to determine whether the offender | 2174 |
failed to comply with any term or condition imposed as part of the | 2175 |
plan. If the court determines that the offender has failed to | 2176 |
comply with any of those terms and conditions, it shall enter a | 2177 |
finding of guilty and shall impose an appropriate sanction under | 2178 |
Chapter 2929. of the Revised Code. If the court sentences the | 2179 |
offender to a prison term, the court, after consulting with the | 2180 |
department of rehabilitation and correction regarding the | 2181 |
availability of services, may order continued court-supervised | 2182 |
activity and treatment of the offender during the prison term and, | 2183 |
upon consideration of reports received from the department | 2184 |
concerning the offender's progress in the program of activity and | 2185 |
treatment, may consider judicial release under section 2929.20 of | 2186 |
the Revised Code. | 2187 |

Section 3. If any provision of a section in this bill or the | 2266 |
application of any such provision to any person or circumstances | 2267 |
is held invalid, the invalidity does not affect any other | 2268 |
provision or application of the section or of any other section in | 2269 |
this bill that can be given effect without the invalid provision | 2270 |

Section 4. The changes made by this act to sections 2901.13, | 2272 |
2907.22, and 3319.073 of the Revised Code are not intended to be | 2273 |
new changes, but are intended to confirm and continue the changes | 2274 |
to those sections that were made in Am. Sub. H.B. 59 of the 130th | 2275 |
General Assembly, the validity of which might be called into | 2276 |
question. The changes made by this act to those sections do not | 2277 |
supersede or repeal the changes to those sections that were made | 2278 |
in Am. Sub. H.B. 59 of the 130th General Assembly, are a | 2279 |
continuation of the changes to those sections that were made in | 2280 |

Section 5. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency | 2284 |
measure necessary for the immediate preservation of the public | 2285 |

minors are particularly vulnerable to becoming victims of the | 2287 |
offenses described in this act. Therefore this act shall go into | 2288 |
immediate effect. | 2289 |
